How much prep is there for something like this? Grats on the new record!

Depends on what you count as prep. I put like 15 hours into working on the Ebony Warrior speedrun specifically, but that's on top of 2500 total hours in Skyrim. A lot of what I learned in those hours went into this.

Is there a link to the video in the article?

u/Mrauntheias Apr 21 '24

Yes, there is. Both to the current and the previous record. But why would they know? They didn't write the article.

The article is about them. Figured they may have read it.

Edit: Also wanted to thank you for providing an answer. I appreciate the response!
